Summary
DayZ has many items for players to hunt for and acquire as they travel across the map. By adjusting the loot spawn settings, server administrators can fine-tune the type of loot that spawns on a server, how long it sticks around, and how frequently it may spawn. These edits can be done directly from the BisectHosting Games panel or the DayZ Standalone Tools website. Adjusting these settings can create fast-paced and exciting gameplay on DayZ servers and is a crucial asset for any server owner.
